Alabama 62, Colorado 61

[SUPERCOACH]

Alabama is making sure Anthony Grant stays focused on his own team rather than watching his former team's incredible NCAA tournament run.

JaMychal Green scored 22 points, Trevor Releford scored the go-ahead basket in the closing seconds, and Grant's top-seeded Crimson Tide withstood a late rally to beat Colorado 62-61 in the NIT semifinals Tuesday night.

Releford finished with 13 points and six assists for the Crimson Tide (25-11), who advanced to play Wichita State on Thursday night for the championship. The Shockers beat Washington State 75-44 in the other semifinal game at Madison Square Garden.

Alabama trailed 61-60 with 12 seconds left when Releford slipped along the baseline and scored the go-ahead basket. After a timeout, Colorado got the ball into the hands of sophomore star Alec Burks, whose off-balanced shot at the buzzer clanked off the rim.

I watched the whole game transpire @ work, and that had to be the most exciting BB game Alabama EVER played. When Green fouled out my heart sank with him and the rest of the team. But I knew we would pull it out.....

Kudos to CAG and the rest of the players!...

ROLL TIDE ROLL!
